I am also interested in a mini-table saw for kumiko purposes. Please report back with what you end up and how you like it!

Many of the sellers dealing with Japanese tools on eBay are simply drop shipping. That's why you're not getting support from the seller.

Look like a yari kanna (spear plane)!

Using a card scraper has worked great for me in the past. Slow but steady.

Been following you on IG for awhile now - good to see you on the creek!

What is the model number of the Makita 125mm circular saw that you use? Also, what kind of blade are you using on it? I...

Beautiful set of tataki nomi. I wish I could swing that. Top of the line quality here people!

Your space looks incredibly cozy!

Please do, I'd like to see and possibly move away from hand drawings as well.

Hello all,

Up for grabs is a Veritas Low Angle Jack and a Veritas Bevel Up Smoother. They are in great condition, lightly used, and work as they should. I am selling them because I am moving...

I too, fall victim to this. Setting up japanese tools definitely can be a project in itself.

Perhaps one side of the bed is lower than the other?

I too am curious to learn how to fix this issue. I bought a used kanna from flea-bay and it suffers from uneven blade protrusion as well. I am weary of paring away the side grooves because I don't...

Thanks for the advice, everyone. I will try and source some Arm-R-Seal from Amazon. I am looking forward to completing my first project!

Do you think that product is durable enough for a dining table top?

Hello all,

I am finishing up my first project and was set on using Arm-R-Seal but just found out that it's illegal in California. Does anyone have any recommendations for an alternative? I am...
